Fairly large 57" x 39" format. Even though the painting is
unsigned, it's of very high quality and appears to be an
original hand-painted piece by an unknown artist rather than
a Soviet era reproduction.

The artwork is very professionally executed in a typical,
officially approved style of the period. The images and
poses of the workers are highly stylized and the composition
has an almost cubist feel to it (something the artist would
categorically deny). The non-descript, drab apartment
buildings of panel construction are of course immediately
recognizable to anyone who ever visited a residential
district or mikrorayon of any large Soviet city.
The painting conveys them as a sign of progress and clearly
attempts to conduct a mood of youthful vigor and hope.

In excellent condition. The paint is stable and without
visible flaking anywhere. Please note, the painting will be
stored and shipped rolled; postal restrictions and special
shipping charges may apply for international buyers.
